When should I arrive?

All Philadelphia Orchestra concerts begin on time. Please give yourself plenty of time to get to your seats before the starting time.

What happens if I arrive late?

In order to minimize disturbances to other audience members who have already begun listening to the music, late seating breaks usually occur after the first piece on the program or at intermission. If you arrive after the concert begins, you will be asked to wait in Commonwealth Plaza until the piece concludes. If you sign up for the concert reminder e-mails, we will update you in advance regarding late seating information for your concert.
